Ceramic flying ducks etc, like the pottery
flying mallards of the 1930s. Bird plaque trios with contemporary
humorous twist: native and exotic species. Tea sets and tableware which
is both decorative and functional.

I graduated in 1990 from LoughboroughCollege of Art and
Design in Ceramics.I have been working as a
full time potter ever since.My influences
include
my interests in plants, birds and
yoga (I'm fascinated bypattern both natural and
designed). My mother had an antique
shop: I love old china and hand made
objects.

about the work

All my work is
earthenware, fired to 1125ºC
and soaked at that temperature for an hour
so that the colours are rich, and so that the object has a clear ring
when tapped.

The tableware is all functional, however a
dishwasher will damage the gold lustre after time.

The birds have an inbuilt hanger and
require only a nail or picture hook to hang
them.
